Brits Battle Before Break
Charlie Carrel and Stephen Chidwick are the only British players competing in today’s event and they just battled in a sizable pot before the second break of the day.
Action was picked up with Carrel check-calling 6,000 on the [KhQc8h] flop.
The [5s] fell on the turn and Carrel checked for a second time. Chidwick continued for 27,000 and Carrel called.
The [6d] completed the board and brought a third check from Carrel. Chidwick took most of his 30 seconds and then effectively moved all-in. He bet 55,000 – leaving 500 behind.
Carrel thought and used a time extension, before calling. Chidwick tabled [KdQh] to jump ahead of his countryman on the leaderboard.
